The Hudson Jet Six was the 202 cubic inch, 3.3 litre, L-head straight-six that powered the compact Hudson Jet of the 1953 and 1954 model years. It produced 104 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 158 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm, and an optional Twin-H power version with two one-barrel downdraft carburetors, an aluminum cylinder head and 8.0 to 1 compression produced 114 horsepower. The Jet article describes it as a re-engineered version of Hudson's 1932 254 cubic inch straight-eight with two cylinders removed, the stroke lengthened by a quarter inch and full-pressure lubrication added, with a forged steel crankshaft and cast aluminum pistons; it kept solid lifters and the flathead valve layout at a time when the rest of the industry was moving to overhead valves. The same 202 cubic inch six was used again in the 1955 Hudson Wasp, with dual carburetors giving 120 horsepower. The articles read for this entry do not state its fuel or give one consistent introduction year.
